West Seattle Crime Watch: Stolen SUV to watch for

Maybe, like Ryan‘s car, this vehicle also will be found by a WSB’er. Just received from Tim:

Wanted to report that our 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport was stolen sometime last night, at SW Kenyon and 7th Ave SW. It’s maroon-colored, license plate 095-WMK; my wife has some work papers in the back that we’d like back asap. If you have any information or if you’ve seen the Jeep, please alert the SPD at 206-625-5011.

Don’t hesitate to call 911 about a stolen car if that number doesn’t work – it’s part of the standard boilerplate on the SPD stolen-vehicle Twitter feed (which has not tweeted this vehicle yet which *just* tweeted this, concurrent with an announcement over the police-radio airwaves, five minutes after we first published this).

This is my Jeep – thank you for posting this so quickly, WSB – it’s appreciated. I wanted to call out the officer who responded to the call; he was professional, courteous and made a bad situation a little bit better.

Our Jeep was found by the police in Burien. It was at an apartment complex parked in a reserved spot. The person who pays for the spot called the cops. The deputy ran my plates and voila! The ignition was ripped out but we were able to get it started with a knife. It’s back in W. Seattle for repairs. Yay!
